When Death Comes…
If I should die before I talk with you
about the reality of my own death,
how will you know about the celebration?
How will you know where to come,
what to expect, what songs to sing?

I tell you now because
tomorrow is not promised to everyone.

I will tell you now so that your good-bye can be
whispered, not in deep and terrible grief,
but in the sure knowledge
that we can come at last to a time of splendor.

When I die, come to church
and worship with our friends.
Comfort them with your nearness,
your love, your faith. Bring a solemn joy,
but when you sing, let it be
a mighty hymn of the church,
a gospel message of strength
and love and triumph.

And, if at the end, you think to sing,
“I Am the Resurrection and the Life,”
and clap your hands, there will be little doubt
that you know me well, and will have sung,
for me at least, the very best good-bye.
